The theme of the 14th WRO Biennale, which starts on May 10th 2011, is ALTERNATIVENOW, highlighting the roles of individual artistic stances and strategies that keep a deliberate distance from the institutionalized mechanisms and standardized expectations of the art world. The WRO Biennale is organized by the WRO Art Center.

K/AST researchers will be delivering papers at the Alternative Now conference, held in Pokoyhof Passage:

Joasia Krysa, PL/UK, Curatorial Alternatives to What? May 13th, 12.25

Geoff Cox, There Is No Alternative, May 11th, 11:20

K/AST researchers are also running a panel called Common Courtesy to explore emergent research with presentations by Magda Tyzlik-Carver, Phil Ellis, and Andrew Prior.
